Maintenance and Hardware for HP ProLiant Blade Centre p-Class servers

HP ProLiant Blade Centre p-Class server overview

The Proliant Blade Centrep-Class series was a milestone in the quest for higher density, flexible, less power-hungry, server management. Bringing together server 'blades' in a single cabinet enables some sharing of power, networking, storage and management, a process that was further developed later with the c-Class system.

Parts, Upgrades and Complete HP ProLiant Blade Centre p-Class Servers

Despite several generations of systems in the HP Proliant Blade Centrep-Class range being beyond their last shipment date from HP, Com-Com continue to supply parts, upgrades, blades and complete systems including the BladeSystem chassis. We help to extend the life of equipment, providing greater ROI and freedom for customers to decide their own budgetary and migration timetables.

With a large stock of quality HP server hardware, Com-Com can provide immediate availability for most upgrades and even complete systems. Qualified sales and engineering professionals can provide help with everything from specification through to installation, configuration and on-going support.

With hardware support from HP having ended on some generations or ending in the coming years on more recent models, planning now to ensure continuity of support is essential. Com-Com offer a high quality alternative support option and with typically 40% off HP support costs, the savings from Com-Com are very attractive as well...

We've done the logistics planning, so you can continue to use your systems and work to your own timescales from replacement/migration. We are supporting many HP Proliant Blade Centrep-Class servers already and are committing to extend support for years to come.
